Eternal Matter
Everyone reading this probably has heard about God being eternal, and had people say that matter can't possibly be eternal. My brother, who I think is a deist, said that he thought it didn't make sense for matter to be eternal. I have no idea why he thinks that, but it made me realize something: Matter almost has to be eternal, because I'm not sure time even exists without matter.
At first glance, time seems pretty straightforward; stuff happens, and there was stuff before the stuff happening. It seems to be continuing on at roughly the same rate. But it's much more complex than that; it's interwoven with space in ways I don't really understand, and essentially doesn't exist without it. So, therefore, I submit that matter can't not be eternal.
Feel free to correct me if I completely misunderstood the science behind this.

matter isn't eternal - thats the idea behind things like the LHC which smash it together to break it down to other stuff and energy.
spacetime, we don't know if it eternal. It could be but as the big band is a singularity (a point at which *all* physics stops working because they equal infinity or zero) we cannot tell what happened before it - it may be that our universe is always expanding and contracting in a chain of big bangs and big crunchs but we don't know. Such a situation spacetime would be eternal in once sense but you couldn't tell
hope this makes sense and helps - im currently writing a report with very little sleep ....
1) Ever heard of E=MC^2? If you're really a fourth-year physics student like your profile says, you really should know that matter and energy are interchangeable, and that when you stick things in a particle accelerator the non-energy stuff that comes out when the particles collide is also matter. So matter is eternal, but the individual particles made of matter aren't.
2) I wasn't aware we knew that about singularities. Of course, given that I knew more about #1 than you, I'm not actually going to believe that unless you show me some evidence it's true.
(insert pause while I look it up on Wikipedia)
Okay, you're an idiot still, but not exactly. A singularity is where you have infinite density and zero volume. Physics doesn't stop working in them; it actually predicts that they exist.
Isn't Linden Rathen a character from a book about dragons or something? It's been a while since I read it.
There is a famous physic law. the matter doesn't dissapear. It only changes. So you can expect that it is eternal. hr32
This is something a condition because I think that something beyond our imagination is there, because we can feel a force in the environment or in every place we are, that's why I think something good is protecting us all time, you can tell it how you want, I mean an energy, a power or a supernatural creature.
